Integrate Couchbase Data in the Pentaho Report Designer

Publish reports based on Couchbase data in the Pentaho BI tool.

The CData JDBC Driver for Couchbase data enables access to live data from dashboards and reports. This article shows how to connect to Couchbase data as a JDBC data source and publish reports based on Couchbase data in Pentaho.

Connect and Create a Report

Copy the JAR file of the driver, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory, to the \Report-Designer\lib\jdbc\ folder in the Pentaho directory.

Run the report-designer.bat file in the \Report-Designer\ folder to open the Report-Designer UI.

Create a new data source with the driver by clicking Data -> Add Data Source -> Advanced -> JDBC (Custom) and then creating a new Couchbase connection.
In the resulting dialog, configure the connection properties as shown below.

Custom Connection URL property: Enter the JDBC URL. This starts with jdbc:couchbase: and is followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.
